Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"Pretty much, but the rules will be changed slightly. Four of the six Pokémon will be chosen to battle, and it will be a double battle. Get ready, it starts this afternoon. I'll give you some time to get to know them."

After saying that, the old man took out a stack of documents from behind him and handed them to Lin Xuan.

"Here is some information about this Pokémon; you can take a look."

After receiving the information, Lin Xuan immediately flipped to the "number seven" that Ibrahimovic had previously drawn, and then fell silent.

"Do you want to see what you drew for me?"

"Buy?"

Ibu was also curious and went over to look, and then he saw what was displayed on the information - Speaker Cricket!

Eevee instantly understood why Lin Xuan had been silent earlier. Anyone who got this Pokémon would probably have been silent too.

“Bu, Bui…”

[This, isn't this great? It can use the sticky net, and it can also...]

Okay, Ibu couldn't keep up the lie anymore and started trying to run away, but Lin Xuan quickly grabbed him.

"Still trying to run! Keep it! Finish reading the rest!"

Lin Xuan then started flipping through the pages, and even saw real SSR-level options like Dragonite and Salamence, but unfortunately, Eevee completely avoided them.

As for the six Pokémon that Eevee finally drew, Lin Xuan quickly finished looking at them.

They are Speaker Scorbunny, Vaporeon, Incineroar, MasterZoo, Umbreon, and Weavile.

All things considered... it seems pretty good?

It wasn't too bad, except that the speaker at the very beginning really surprised Lin Xuan.

Especially Incineroar, that's truly the number one Pokémon in the universe! Especially after Lin Xuan saw it, this Incineroar really does have the Intimidate ability, and it has mastered moves like Fake Out, Slap, Will-O-Wisp, and Flare Blitz. It's practically a setup pulled straight from the game, or even better.

After all, you can only learn four skills in the game, and the current number one Roaring Tiger in the universe is the true complete form!

However, Lin Xuan still had one question: why did you draw all of the two Eevee evolutions from there?

That's right, out of these 100 Pokémon, Eevee only has Vaporeon and Umbreon as its evolved forms, but Eevee managed to summon them all.

"Buyi~"

Ibrahimovic shrugged, but Lin Xuan was just saying it casually, and soon began to study the team configuration.

First, Incineroar is a must-have, followed by Umbreon, which has moves like Toxic, Moonlight, and Foul Play. Paired with Incineroar, it will definitely annoy the opponent.

Then Lin Xuan began to struggle between his master Itachi and Weavile. The two had similar roles, both being high-speed, fragile damage dealers, so Lin Xuan only planned to choose one of them.

In the end, Lin Xuan chose her master Itachi and Vaporeon.

There's no way around it. Including Incineroar and Umbreon, the team already has three Dark-type Pokémon. If we add Weavile, it will truly be a team of villains. Although the team is still vulnerable to Fairy-types, it's at least better than being completely crushed by Fighting-types.

Therefore, Lin Xuan chose Vaporeon as her last Pokémon, which is a relatively powerful attacker.

To be honest, if Lin Xuan dared to use this setup in ranked matches, he would most likely get crushed, but in real-life matches... maybe he could give it a try.

After confirming the team, Lin Xuan continued to look at the data, familiarizing himself with the skills and characteristics of each Pokémon.

To be honest, all 100 Pokémon are four-star level and have been trained very well, which is a bit scary, considering there are a full 100 of them!

There were even pseudo-legendary Pokémon in it, but Lin Xuan just didn't get one.

During this time, Mr. Mime even brought lunch. After Lin Xuan finished reading all the information and communicating with the four Pokémon, it was already afternoon—the trial was about to begin!

"Have you made your choice?"

The old man looked at Lin Xuan, his smile still lingering on his face. Lin Xuan nodded and then asked:

"Start right away?"

"Okay, let's get started!"

To some extent, Lin Xuan was at a natural disadvantage, since he didn't know the old man's team composition, but the old man did know his team.

Therefore, Lin Xuan made the safest starting choice—Blazing Roaring Tiger and his master Itachi!

Intimidation combined with a double-slap surprise attack can handle most situations. After all, if you send out Umbreon immediately, it would be a bit difficult if the opponent sends out a Fighting Pokémon.

Chapter 455 I got tricked again!

Lin Xuan believed that the team he had chosen was not too bad, at least it had Incineroar, an almost omnipotent Pokémon, which could be considered a lubricant for the team.

However, when Lin Xuan saw the old man throw out the Pokémon, he almost couldn't resist the urge to curse.

The old man threw up a Dragonite and a Tyranitar, instantly creating a sandstorm on the field, leaving Lin Xuan only able to stare wide-eyed at the old man.

What does this mean? Two near-godlike characters popped up at the start of the game. Are they just trying to make it harder for me to win?

"Nothing in this world is fair, and that's what the journey to becoming a champion is all about for you. So if you're ready, let's begin!"

The old man spoke with a smile, but there was a hint of malice in his smile.

Moreover, not only were there two pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but this Dragonite even had the Psychic ability, rendering Intimidate completely ineffective. This was what gave Lin Xuan the biggest headache.

Because of the mental strength characteristic, not only is one immune to intimidation, but one is also unaffected by high-five attacks.

But wanting to curse was one thing, but Lin Xuan quickly came up with a strategy to deal with it.

This battle requires that not only can you use the corresponding Pokémon, but you also cannot switch Pokémon. These rules apply to both sides, but moves like "throwing a taunt" and "U-turn" can still be used.

Now it's time to prove who the strongest Bug-type Pokémon really is!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xuan had his Roaring Tiger use Fake Out, but the target wasn't Dragonite, but Tyranitar on the side.

Although Lin Xuan may be at a disadvantage in terms of the raw strength of the Pokémon on both sides, judging from the start, things don't seem that bad.

After all, Itachi's Fighting-type moves completely overwhelmed Tyranitar.

Furthermore, Tyranitar has been intimidated once, causing its damage output to plummet and its threat level to drop sharply.

But Lin Xuan still needs to deal with Tyranitar first. As for that Dragonite... perhaps it would be more appropriate to leave it to Vaporeon or Umbreon.

The former possesses the Freeze Beam, while the latter has the Poison and Foul Play skills, both of which counter Dragonite to some extent.

Incineroar's Fake Out attack instantly struck Tyranitar. This skill offers almost no chance of dodging, and Tyranitar was immediately immobilized. Then, Tyranitar had to face a fierce attack from his master Itachi.

However, the old man was clearly aware of this as well, since Tyranitar, despite its strength, is ultimately a somewhat fatal weakness due to its Fighting-type nature.

Dragonite acted the instant its master Itachi made his move. Although it was slightly inferior in agility, it was definitely not inferior to other Pokémon in terms of pure speed.

With a gentle flap of its wings, Tyranitar arrived in front of its master Itachi, seemingly trying to block the close-range attack. After all, if Tyranitar were to be hit by this close-range attack, it would essentially be declared unable to fight.

However, just as Dragonite approached, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile; it had indeed taken the bait.

Master Itachi instantly switched to Ice Fist in close combat, colliding violently with Dragonite's wings. Although he was knocked away, Dragonite was not to be outdone.

At the same time, Roaring Tiger also takes action. In the game, perhaps because there are not enough skill slots and he can learn too many skills, many people have forgotten that he also has a powerful support skill - Will-o'-the-Wisp!

"Waveguide power?"

The old man saw that Lin Xuan had managed to get the two Pokémon to obey his commands without giving any apparent instructions, and immediately guessed the reason.

"Waveguide power is still very useful."

Lin Xuan said with a smile, and that she was only referring to the aspect of spiritual connection.

Even without this ability, he and Little Point are basically in tacit understanding, but they have a great advantage when battling with unfamiliar Pokémon.

Moreover, the old man and the others seem to have forgotten one thing: when Lin Xuan is really no match for them... they can always cheat! Is there a better cheating device than the power of wave guidance?

It's just that the situation hasn't gotten so bad that Lin Xuan needs to use this "magic weapon".

So even when Lin Xuan saw two near-god-level beings, although he wanted to curse, he wasn't too desperate, since he still thought he had a chance of winning.

Dragonite was hit by Itachi's Ice Punch. Even though it's not a STAB move and Ice Punch itself has low power, it's still four times super effective against it!

So the will-o'-the-wisp took advantage of this time and quickly drifted towards the Dragonite.

Dragonite could only take to the air to dodge. Tyranitar was already half-crippled, and if he were to be hit by Will-O-Wisp, it would be truly fatal.

Fortunately, the hit rate of will-o'-the-wisps in real life is even more pitiful than in the game. After all, it's quite difficult to have no reaction at all when watching a ball of will-o'-the-wisps slowly drifting towards you.

Dragonite's attempt to dodge Will-O-Wisp gave its master Itachi another chance, as it charged towards Tyranitar again. This time, it seemed that Tyranitar was truly on its own. If Dragonite came to help it, it would most likely be entangled by Will-O-Wisp.

Tyranitar stomped heavily on the ground, and a large, sharp rock instantly emerged from the ground. But this was only the beginning, not the end. Countless rocks blocked Itachi's path.

Tyranitar knew that comparing speed with his master Itachi was a bit unnecessary. Dragonite might be able to, but for him... it was unnecessary. Tyranitar could only comfort himself by saying it was unnecessary.

But these stones were clearly no match for Master Itachi's advance, and were shattered one after another.

"Two wings".

At that moment, the old man made a choice: to save Bangiras first, and the power that the wings could unleash this time would not be as simple as it was last time.

Charging straight towards Tyranitar for such a long distance and shattering countless rock walls in its path, Itachi's close-quarters combat was clearly not just a show like before.

Facing Dragonite's wings in this situation, especially considering it was already injured—

The two wings slammed Itachi, his master, into the ground. Although Itachi was fighting with all his might, he ultimately couldn't dodge it.

After all, Lin Xuan's previous instructions to him were to do everything in his power, at all costs, to eliminate Bangiras.

Lin Xuan made this decision to force the old man to choose between sacrificing Tyranitar, who had been intimidated into a fool, or sacrificing Dragonite to allow Will-O-Wisp to entangle it, but in return, forcibly replacing Lin Xuan's master, Itachi.

Clearly, the old man chose the second option.
